Salvo & Antonio
When tradition stops being a boundary — where opulence meets rebellion, and love no longer asks for permission. A new era of elegance. Not for everyone. And never meant to be.

Who plans your wedding
Fifteen years of weddings. Six of them living in Sicily.
From finding the right venue and suppliers to paperwork, logistics and seamless on-the-day coordination — across Sicily and beyond.
I went through the paperwork, the language and the bureaucracy myself, from the same side my couples do. When I tell you what a comune will and won't accept, it's because I've stood in that queue.
You speak to me rather than to an account manager, from the first call to the last guest.

Where
The parts of Sicily we know best for weddings
Taormina
Choose it for iconic views and five-star hotels.
The most photographed town in Sicily and the hardest to run a wedding in — narrow roads, tight schedules, and views that make it worth it.
Noto & the south-east
Choose it for elegant countryside estates.
Baroque towns and grounds on the Iblei hills, with the Ionian coast below and Etna on the horizon.
Messina & the islands
Choose it for private castles and fewer tourists.
Castles above the Gulf of Milazzo, and the Aeolian Islands a boat ride from the coast.
How it works
Planning a wedding in a country you don't live in.
You are spending a significant amount in a place you can't visit often, with suppliers you can't check, under rules written in another language. This is the part that makes it manageable.
First contact
A call
What you want, what it realistically costs, and whether we're the right fit. No proposal until that's clear.
Weeks 1–6
Venue
A shortlist with real availability and cost, plus the constraints nobody publishes — access, noise limits, works.
Months 2–4
Design
The concept, and every decision that follows from it. One idea carried through, not a set of decorations.
Until the month before
Planning
Suppliers, guest logistics, and the paperwork — nulla osta, translations, the comune, built for your passports.
The day
Wedding day
On site from morning to the last guest. Not coordinating by phone from another city.
After
After the wedding
Certificates, translations for home, supplier settlement and your photographs chased until they arrive.
Questions
Asked most often
How far in advance should we start?
Twelve months for most weddings. Eighteen to twenty-four if you want a particular venue on a Saturday in June or September — which is when most couples want it.
Can we legally marry in Italy as foreigners?
Yes. There is no residency requirement for a civil marriage and it is recognised at home. What you need depends on your nationality — usually a nulla osta or equivalent, translated and legalised.
Can same-sex couples marry in Italy?
Italy recognises civil unions rather than marriage, so a ceremony here is symbolic. Many couples complete the legal step at home and hold the celebration in Sicily. We plan both as one process.
What does a wedding in Sicily cost?
It depends far more on guest count and venue than on style. We give a realistic range on the first call rather than after a proposal, so nobody loses a month.

Tell us the date, the place, and roughly how many.
That is enough for a first reply. We will tell you whether the date is open before anything else — and give you a realistic budget range on the first call.
